Racist?

Quite amazing that referring to a hoodie or robbery can be offensive OR racist... Who is making the inference or suggestion there?? certainly not the OP. Would seem making that connection is more troubling.

Are they profiting from BRP copyrighted material?

:agree: my thoughts exactly.

Ebay seems to be full of Can-Am shirts made infringing on copyrighted material as well.

I think Can-Am (BRP) needs to offer more choices for us Spyder lovers in their line up of clothing. I look at them in their accessorie catalog every year, and nothing usually interests me, but hey everyone has their one tastes for what they like.

That would be me, if you're referring to post #20. I could care less what you or your buddy JAS POWER thinks. I'll say what I want to say. If it offends you, too bad. And, by the way, I have a few hoodies myself that I wear. I stand by what I said in post #20.

No buddy of mine. I'm just making a statement as well, keyboard warrior.

Oh, I get it, it's okay for you to make a statement, but no one else can.

Nobody said that. But, you often go there when you're at a loss for a thoughtful response I've noticed.

Let me break it down for you. He said he found it troubling for a connection between hoodie and racist; that would be me he was referring to. Here's how I got there: hoodie was mentioned along with the urge to rob a 7-11. Unless you've been living under a rock, gangsta style clothing can include hoodies. So, what was originally supposed to be funny, could be construed as racist, as evidenced by one of CelticCross's post. So, I'm not sure why he found my connection troubling.

And, where you often go is to instigate. You noticed he did start name calling, didn't you?

I prefer to think of what I do is provoke thoughtful responses to issues or alternative viewpoints.

Update

I ordered on the 10th and received an email today that the order is being processed now... seems promising

In case anyone cares about what this post started as....
I received an email stating my order isn't going to make it before Christmas.... looks like it'll be the 28th.
But when they arrive I'll take a picture and post it.
BTW I ordered long sleeve T-shirts not the hooded sweatshirt.

I bought a hoodie for my 14 year old granddaughter and she loves it. Her favorite was the tenth anniversary hoodie until she got this new one. Everybody knows how much she loves Spyders.:2thumbs::2thumbs:

Racist?

I think to read racist into that comment one must be a racist , or hate whites, blacks, browns or anyone that wears hoodies and robs 7-11s .
Some people would complain if they were hung with a new rope!
I seen the comment as very funny and saw the response to it as completely ludicrous, shallow, very narrow minded, someone really needs to look inward and take a breath.

You got me. You can put me on the side that doesn't think too much of someone robbing someone else. By what you wrote, you must think it's okay.

Okay UP, what am I missing.

I've already got half you people on my ignore list.
Is there a way I can put the entire thread on ignore ?

What I was trying to say is that if you thought that comment was Racist, you had to think that anyone who would pull a hoodie over their head and rob a 7-11 had to be black, and to think that, one must be very narrow minded or a closet racist , or just wanted to stir up trouble and see how big a fire they could build. I personally dislike all thief's. I only made a comment because (A) I thought it was a ridiculous comment and (B) I had some free time on my hands. Now I have to get back to work, pick up a stick and beat my subcontractors into submission .
